California Runs

Yeah it's pretty well abused by the nitwits. Did meet a guy early AM the other day and exchanged road condition reports down in WA state. Doesn't happen too often though. Just shut it off around a truck stop.

 

Yah, they had straight trucks in there before

 

UPS trucks lol.

 

Tell me the company, I can tell you exactly where they go. Been doing Cali for 4 years now, LTL Van and Reefer, I will go to Cali every day vs anything east of the Mississippi these days.

 

Hey I did Union St and Franklin St San Fran once, Custom Millwork and Windows for a fancy condo building going up there. Out of everyting i've done, that was the absolute craziest, made NYC look easy, those people in San Fran don't give a ####, no time for you, the cops, construction, nothing. I had people trying to pass me in the tunnel, on Broadway street FFS.

 

Super small outfit, seen them in the Bay Area and LA, usually sitting in truckstops, staring out the window waiting for loads lol.

If you're in Vancouver, I think IHaul is the best option, if you can overlook the driver facing camera (not real time).

All these smaller outfits, are stepping on each other for loads. If you don't have contract freight, expect 3-7 days for a reload out of California.

Just my 0.02c

 

Yes, that's precisely what I delivered as well, windows. Luckily it was a small load and I was out of there within an hour. But getting in and out was the true adventure. One of the most nerve racking days of all my driving career. They should only allow straight trucks in there, it's crazy! And the traffic is nuts, exactly as you say. San Fran is trucking dialed up to 11, lol .. it's next level. I'd like to see some of them autonomous driving robots try to pull a SF delivery, haha! I'm telling you that great drivers aren't going away that quick. They'll use those robots for connections between large cities but we'll still have work getting product into the dock.
